Go green and recycle your Christmas tree!
Residents are urged to participate in the Miami-Dade County’s Christmas Tree Recycling Program
The Miami-Dade County Department of Solid Waste (DSWM) encourages all customers to participate in the DSWM Christmas Tree Recycling Program.
Starting Tuesday, December 26th, DSWM service area customers can recycle their clean, decoration-free natural Christmas trees by taking them to select Trash and Recycling Centers (TRCs). The trees will be recycled into mulch, available to DSWM service area customers on a first-come, first-served basis beginning in spring 2024. DSWM service area customers are single-family households in the unincorporated Miami-Dade County service area and the following municipalities: Aventura, Cutler Bay, Doral, Miami Gardens, Miami Lakes, Opa-locka, Palmetto Bay, Pinecrest, Sunny Isles Beach, and Sweetwater.

This year, trees will be collected throughout the service area during two sweeps. Do not place whole trees or cut up trees in the green garbage carts or blue recycling carts.
- First Christmas Tree Collection Sweep: January 10 – January 21

- Place tree at the curb by Wednesday, January 10
- Final Christmas Tree Collection Sweep: January 24 – February 4

Other Christmas tree disposal options
Residents who are unable to drop off their tree for recycling or who don’t want to wait for curbside collection can use one of their available scheduled bulky waste pickups to have the tree collected.
